The UTTAS project ultimately delivered Blackhawks, but the Army kept flying Hueys of various kinds for some decades after that.

The first UH-60A, built during the first year of low rate initial production, was delivered to the Army in 1978 and entered service with the 101st Combat Aviation brigade of the 101st Airborne Division in June 1979 .

Expect to see similar overlap between Valor and UH-60.

Your point on low risk is echoed by quite a few others I've discussed this program with.
